Let's talk about BigV's attitude

The thing is...and I know this might be controversial...but I quite like the silly threads. I think this world could do with more silliness and a little less absurdity.

I do click on these threads to see if anyone's posted funny, or sharp responses. I like that there is a (in fact more than one) meta joke running through the Cellar across a length of time. I find that really funny. I like 'running jokes'. Now okay, some of them fall flat, some don't quite pull it off, but some are very funny.

If you see a thread with a bunch of alliteration and the name of a dwellar you pretty much know what kind of thread it is. I tend to ignore them when I first check in in the morning (that's how I start my day btw when I am not at uni:P ...coffee and Cellar for about an hour) I go for stuff I was following that has moved on overnight, but I do eventualy get around to it: usually when there's been a pattern of them emerging on the new posts list.

Kind of spoils the joke a little when everytime you click on one you just see the same word 'Weed'. It was funny the first couple of times I followed a link, but now I just don't want to click on the silly threads because I already know what's there. Thereby rendering them dull.

Oh well.

How is this current thread meme different from the Sandra Day O'Connor one back in 2005? You liked that one.
